• Ask HN: Reasonably priced EU hosting with DDoS filtering?

  OVH offers more than a firewall. They provide all of their OVHCloud custoemrs with anti-DDoS services that will block most attacks automatically at no additonal charge. https://us.ovhcloud.com/security/anti-ddos/ AWS offers their Shield product, although your requirement of "reasonably priced" may exclude AWS in general https://aws.amazon.com/shield/ .

• Enigma cold war IP global banning people trying to join their server when full.

  You just dont hear bout much these days as a consumer since most games go FULL GREED (aka Live Service) and do not let you host your own server. Big companies use AWS etc and have ways to deal with this sort of thing. Source: about 1 year ago

• Tutorials for secure backend development and production pipelines?

  Hi, I went briefly through your post, and can add that aws has a Shield service, that is designed to tackle ddos attacks... Hope it helps somehow :) Https://aws.amazon.com/shield/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Stupid Question: Can DDoS attack or some other attack mess up EC2 Auto Scaling ?

OpenVAS mentions (6)

• Link CVE to installed applications?

  Otherwise your on the right path checkout the open source Greenbones OpenVAS (this was Nessus before they closed source and became corporate) or Project Discovery Nuclei. Source: about 1 year ago

• What should I be doing as the sole sysadmin for a company to keep up with security?

  Personally, I was lucky enough to get a license to Nessus for my own scanning, however you can use OpenVAS for some free to scan. Scanners aren't 100% correct no matter where you go but it'll give you some things to look at. OpenVAS. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Wanting to protect my own homelab

  Https://openvas.org/ OpenVAS is free and fairly capable. It might struggle cpu on a pi... Might need quite a bit of ram, but I'm hoping you've got some beefier kit in your stack. Source: about 2 years ago

• Free nessus equivalent?

  Maybe OpenVAS would fill the bill. It’s been on my list of things to check out. Source: over 2 years ago

• Internal Vulnerability Scanning

  OpenVAS - https://openvas.org Try it first, its free, just download a prebuilt VM and you're off and running. I found it valuable for my clients. Source: over 2 years ago
